Camera as a Server

SETTING UP A DW SPECTRUM® CAAS™ SERVER

NOTE: Before setting up your DW Spectrum® CaaS™ server for recording via the DW Spectrum® client software, write down the camera/server’s IP address for identification and configuration.

To locate your camera/server’s IP address:

1.Launch the DW IP Finder software on a computer located on the same network as the camera/server.

2.Click on the ‘Search’ button. The software will scan your network for all supported cameras and display the results in the table. Allow up to 5 seconds for the IP Finder to find the camera on the network.

3.Locate your camera/server on the results list and write down its IP address.

NOTE: DW Spectrum® CaaS™ servers run Edge version and come with 1 DW Spectrum® Edge license.

A. FINDING YOUR DW SPECTRUM® CAAS™ CAMERA/SERVER

STEP 1: Launch the DW Spectrum® IPVMS client on a computer running on the same network as the DW Spectrum® CaaS™ server. Please note that the client and all the DW Spectrum® CaaS™ servers you are connecting to must be on the same network. It is not recommended to try to merge DW Spectrum® CaaS™ servers from different networks.

STEP 2: If the CaaS™ server is not showing in the tile, click on the “Connect to Another Server...” button at the bottom of the screen.

STEP 3: Enter the DW Spectrum® CaaS™ server’s IP address, port (default is 7001), username and password (default are admin | admin12345). You may test the connection to make sure you have entered the proper information, or click OK to log into the DW Spectrum® CaaS™ server.

Attention: This document is intended to serve as a quick reference for initial set-up.
